I had ordered an Inspiron as they are having a clearance sale (20% off) and they couldn't provide the video card that I had in my original quote SO......... They upgraded the whole deal to the New Studio Notebook with the following specs: R540711 - Dell Studio 17" Laptop (Was 1270 Inspiron) Intel Core2 Duo Processor T8300 (Same) 17" Wides Screen WUXGA TFT Display (1920 X 1200) (Same) 4GB 667MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM (was 3GB 667MHz SDRAM) 256 ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650 (Was 128MB NVIDIA® GeForce® 8400M GS) Sound Blaster Audigy Advanced HD Audio (Same) Wireless 370 Bluetooth (was 335) 6 Cell battery (same) TV Tuner Card with Remote control (same) Intergrated Fast Ethernet 10/100/1000 (was 10/100) Belkin Easy Transfer Cable Belkin 802.11g Wireless Router (we have a cheap crapy one at present) I have chosen the "Ruby Red, with black U trim option" AND KEPT THEY KEPT TO MY ORIGINAL QUOTED PRICE........... $2015.10 I just went and built it online and the cost was .........$2916 and it doesnt have a TV tuner card with remote!!!

| 688295 | 2008-07-31 19:56:00 | Looks like you dodged the bullet on that one, Meg, have you seen this (pressf1.co.nz)? (Probably why the Nvidia GPU machine wasnt "available" :badpc: ). | feersumendjinn (64) | ||
